Laser sail spaceship
Laser sail spaceship, computer artwork. This is a theoretical vessel that has a large, sail-like, thin membrane for using laser light. A large laser that is orbiting Earth could be used to form the laser beam seen here (blue). Pressure from the laser beam sends the sail and attached spacecraft accelerating past other planets. The acceleration would be very low but continuous, eventually allowing very high speeds to be attained

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases a futuristic concept of space travel - the Laser Sail Spaceship. In this computer-generated image, we witness a theoretical vessel equipped with a large, sail-like membrane that utilizes laser light for propulsion. The mesmerizing blue laser beam visible here is formed by an orbiting Earth-based laser system. The principle behind this innovative spacecraft lies in the pressure exerted by the laser beam on the sail, propelling both the sail and attached spacecraft forward. Although the acceleration generated is initially low, it remains continuous throughout the journey. This unique characteristic allows for gradual but remarkable speed gains over time. With its advanced technology and sleek design, this extraordinary vehicle holds immense potential for interplanetary exploration and transportation within our solar system. It represents mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge and our unyielding desire to push boundaries beyond what was once deemed impossible. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring illustration, we are reminded of humanity's boundless curiosity about distant planets and galaxies yet to be discovered. The Laser Sail Spaceship offers us a glimpse into an exciting future where space travel becomes more accessible than ever before.
